FastLAS 2.2.0 Tutorial: A Programmer's Guide to Inductive Logic Programming
A new unofficial tutorial for FastLAS 2.2.0, a scalable Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) system, has been released. The guide is structured as a programmer's manual, covering syntax and worked examples of increasing difficulty. It explains how FastLAS takes background knowledge, language bias, and examples to produce logic program rules (hypotheses). The tutorial highlights differences between FastLAS and its sibling ILASP, and between the --opl and --nopl learning algorithms. It is intended as a practical introduction, not an official specification. The document includes actual output from FastLAS 2.2.0 for each example, minimizing theoretical background.
